They're famous on political YouTube circles, if that counts. Ben Shapiro is a holier-than-thou Young ConservativeTM who thinks ancient political talking points are relevant and good arguments, Jordan Peterson is a Canadian psychologist who's weirdly obsessed with IQ, and PragerU is just a bunch of Ben Shapiro clones.

Idk.
Pointing out that hierarchy might have biological causes seems fine to me. The lobster argument was used to suggest that hierarchy isn't necessarily socially constructed. Him trying to skip from there to loudly implying but not explicitly saying biological reasons for male leadership isn't justified however.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

It could be a useful means of promoting revolution if it weren't under capitalist domination, particularly from the U.S.

The UN is a tool of international capitalism, it should be destroyed.

He tried to use lobster society as an analogy to justify his idea that hierarchies are a natural necessity in human society.

He also fantasizes about beating the crap out of two-year-olds.

And that's the main thing with him: he constantly implies that he sees his traditionalist worldview as biologically justified, but he only implies it.

Charlie Kirk is the Koch-funded leader of Toilet Paper USA (okay, seriously, it's called Turning Point USA). It's a "conservative" college activist group that seems to mostly dedicate its time and money to making bad memes and, on one occasion, putting on diapers to own the libs.
